Marked for Death

Brian O'hare is one of the best thriller writers there is, he is up there with Rankin, Baldacci, Hallen Coban. ★★★★★ A Knight of the Realm is murdered. High-profile mourners will attend the funeral. One of them is marked for death. Sir Theodore Hayes was a ruthless, unpopular businessman with no shortage of enemies. As DCI Jim Sheehan and Belfast's Serious Crimes Unit investigate, two more seemingly unrelated murders baffle the team. Then Sheehan uncovers a far more dangerous truth — Hayes' killing was only the opening move in a New IRA plot to rock the British Isles. The target: a high-level VIP at the funeral. Days of frantic investigation yield nothing, and as the morning of the service arrives, Sheehan is still no closer to stopping the attack. With the clock ticking down and the city on edge, he must pull together the scattered clues before the terrorists strike. One mistake could cost hundreds of lives — and change the face of Northern Ireland forever. ____________________★★★★★ So thrilling, I just couldn't put it down.★★★★★ Gripping and incredible. ★★★★★ Brian O'Hare has a fantastic gift for putting the reader right in the heart of the story, and with his descriptive talent, you can really feel the emotions and struggles of the characters.
